== Hardware

— Smoking oil from a pump in tunnel triggered smoke alarms 

— STAR magnet tripped around the same

— drift velocity has been essentially stabilized (5.55 cm/us)

— temperature is stable in TPC air blower 

— some mild humidity issues (perhaps brought in by high winds)

— anode trips are somewhat better lately

— will ask shift crew to include information about TPC trips when logging beam loss or beam dump

== Electronics

— still the usual losses and repairs of RDOs and FEEs (usual 15% dead on average)

— one TPX RDO lost over the past week (2 total now that cannot be recovered without removing the pole tip)

— 3 HV sections are running with lower voltage

== Software

— continuing work on for hit errors for DAQ5000  

== AOB

— TPC meetings have been put back into STAR Drupal Calendar for next few months 

Best Regards,

  Richard
